This has nothing to do with investing, in micro caps or otherwise. We just thought it was worth reprinting here, since the reader who sent it in is basically right. (We’ll call it our good deed for the day.)

Why is no one in government eliminating the need for Mideast Oil? I believe the USA could do this in 2 years or less if we tried (we did nuclear bombs in less time).
 
We should:

1. Have windmills on every house (10K or less in cost)   
2. Cut down on stop and go traffic (all main city streets with no stopping for red lights once first light turns green - no left turns - 3 rights make a left)
3. Have incentives for more work at home - many jobs can be done without travel to office - at least 1 day per week - reduce rush hour - also make flex time available to everyone) - eliminate stop and go during rush hour.   
4. Promote stick shifts in cars with rebate from energy taxes - not automatics - they get a minimum of 10 percent more miles per gallon saving million of gallons of oil per year - even more with planned travel and use of neutral gears on hills.   
5. Provide rebates for fuel efficient cars.

Editor’s response: ‘Nuff said. One thing that you might find appaling….some owners are paying an extra tax on their hybrid cars. What kind of incentive is that?

If you’ve got more ideas, feel free to add ‘em below.

By the way, can a windmill - in general - power a house or even part of a house’s energy need? Anybody have that kind of knowledge tucked away? What’s the story?
